A novel type of nucleoside analogue in which the sugar part is replaced by a new tricycle, 3,7,10-trioxa-11-azatricyclo[5.3.1.05,11]undecane has been prepared by substrate-controlled asymmetric synthesis. 1,5-Dialdehydes obtained from properly protected or unprotected uridine, ribothymidine, cytidine, inosine, adenosine and guanosine by metaperiodate oxidation reacted readily with tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane to provide the corresponding tricyclic derivatives with three new stereogenic centers. Through a double cyclisation cascade process the tricyclic compounds were obtained in good to high yields, with very high diastereoselectivity. Formation of one stereoisomer, out of the eight possible, was observed in all cases. The absolute configuration of the new stereotriad-containing tricyclic systems was aided by conventional NMR experiments followed by chemical shift calculations using an X-ray crystal structure as reference that was in good agreement with H–H distances obtained from a new ROESY NMR method. The synthesis was compatible with silyl, trityl and dimethoxytrityl protecting groups. A new reagent mixture containing ZnCl2, Et3SiH and hexafluoroisopropanol was developed for detritylation of the acid-sensitive tricyclano nucleosides.

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry (OBC) publishes original and high impact research and reviews in organic chemistry. We welcome research that shows new or significantly improved protocols or methodologies in total synthesis, synthetic methodology or physical and theoretical organic chemistry as well as research that shows a significant advance in the organic chemistry or molecular design aspects of chemical biology, catalysis, supramolecular and macromolecular chemistry, theoretical chemistry, mechanism-oriented physical organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry or natural products. Articles published in the journal should report new work which makes a highly-significant impact in the field. Routine and incremental work is generally not suitable for publication in the journal. More details about key areas of our scope are below. In all cases authors should include in their article clear rationale for why their research has been carried out.
